Aug 16, 2006 Rated to style and expectations, which were low as I had no idea this is smoked also until I poured it. No, this is no bland typical lager. IT’s basically a lighter smoked but in the same vien as their other rauchbiers. It’s got a nice leathery beefy aroma. Clear helles straw gold beer with snowy head. Has a healthy touch of that meaty smokiness on the tongue, a pleasant surprise. good malt-pure beer with modest bitter hops, a top compared to general lagers, and given its low alcohol, that is an appropriate comparison. It tastes more like a normal lager as you drink it. This is a beer to session when you want to have one fine-ass session.

Jul 27, 2006 Pours a crystal clear gold with a wispy thin ivory head. Some faint fine lacing. Smell is smoky. Smoked peat. Some lightly grassy malt.
Taste is smoky, of course and a rich grassy malt. Noble hop finish with a faint fruitiness. Mouth is crisp, if a bit thinnish. This is just so heavenly good. One of the better beers I’ve had all year. Yummy!

Jul 17, 2006 Germanic pilsner malt and light spice hop aroma; lightly smokey and clean though very lightly fruity, balanced, simple flavor and watery texture; slightly dry finish; pretty subtle smokiness, and not on par with their other offerings.

Jul 17, 2006 Pale yellow with a largish, white and holding head. Soapy florals and clove-like smokiness comes across like incense in the aroma over toasty malts and mild vegetal notes that seem to defy the claim to Reinheitsgebot displayed so proudly on the label. Smokiness remains light yet steadfast in the flavor over the milky bittersweetness of a well-made lager. I prefer this brewer’s Märzen, but this was a pleasant, surprising treat.

Jul 15, 2006 (500 ml bottle from Belfast Co-op) This pours pale straw yellow with a tall somewhat foamy white head. Aroma is of malt, honey and sweet hay. As head recedes, on comes the aroma of smoked meat! Sloppy foamy lacing. Mouthfeel smooth, full but a touch watery. Flavor is smoke overlaying sweet honey malt. Pretty delicious. All rauchbier lovers should seek this out!
